    In this vlog, we visited our 51st country buy going to the Vatican in the middle of Italy! We used our Italia Pass to skip the line and take a really good tour. We walked through the beautiful buildings and soaked up the history and scenery, went in the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. We tried Rome's "cheaper" food scene for lunch and dinner, and were a bit disappointed after all the delicious meals we've been having around the city ;)

    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on UA-cam, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that UA-cam’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    Next time you go through Rome, try the Trevi Fountain again, but try to go as late as you can. I'm talking 11pm. That is when all the of the local people go hang out there. Last time we were in Rome, we hung out by the fountain for about 45 minutes and saw at least 3 Italian couples get engaged! So fun!

    • @mat2941
      @mat2941 5 років тому +4

      I took my girlfriend (now wife) there at 1 am, because as a Roman, it’s the only time we could get the Trevi fountain to ourselves on a lucky day :)

    Tip: if you want to escape the crowds, visit Rome in early December. The weather is fairly mild, warm enough to eat and drink outside (plus the restaurants have portable heaters if it gets chilly). There are virtually no wait times at places like the Vatican Museum, St. Peter's, or the Colosseum.

    First time in Rome, after the Vatican I went looking for something to eat, got lost after 20 minutes walking, saw a restaurant with about 3-5 local eating the rest empty. Sat down, owner didn't speak English, I knew nothing. She brought out bread, a salad, show me how to do the olive oil and vinegar for the bread, and the salad had the sweetest tomato I've ever had then nor since. Out came the seafood spaghetti, best pasta I've every had, everything taste fresh, then came the meat/cheese platter, perfect way to end the meal. Cost $20 best dining experience I've had.
    Been back to Rome 5 times, each time tried to find that restaurant but still couldn't find it. I had more fancy and expensive meal in Rome that came close to that meal but none have yet to surpass it.

    Guys, I just found your channel a few weeks ago. I am SO EXCITED to have seen your Italy vlogs. They are gorgeous and such high quality. I have spent my entire life dreaming of going to Italy, but I've never been financially able to make it happen, and I may never be able to do so. Thank you so much for such a beautiful tour of this incredible country. I am living vicariously through you. ❤️❤️

    When my husband and I visited the Sistine Chapel years ago there were only 2 other visitors in there with us and we spent at least 30 minutes just laying on our backs on the floor looking up. There were no crowds anywhere, and it was an incredible day. To see the crowds now, I can't even imagine being able to take everything in. See how I dated myself there??

  • @alexlodner7378

    When my husband and I visited we were so hassled near the entrance with people offering tours. Just ignore them, buy the tickets at the ticket desk and go around at your own pace, visiting the galleries that interest you most (according to the written guide). We spent the whole day there. Well worth it.

    We did Venice, Florence and Rome, and Rome was by far my favourite of the three, which I definitely wasn't expecting. Such a beautiful city!

    Guys when you're going to places such as vatican or any other prominent location please document your travels in details as to where you got the tickets and how did you skip the lines, how did you come across the restaurant. Its easier for us fellow travellers. Hope you understand the point I'm making.

    You guys should have gone to the top of the dome in the Vatican, it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, from the stairs that go up there to the beautiful scenery of Rome. In my opinion Rome is the most beautiful city in the world and 3 or4 days are not enough, at least you need a week

    My college was too cheap to pay for a guide. Super religious private school. But we were able to get the headphone and mic set with my professor. When almost all of us were cutting out, guess what? Still was almost impossible to find a 5’5 man in the land of people there.
    I was the only Catholic on the trip as well somehow. I briefly got to see the Pope speaking (security was rushing us out) due to private mass. I brushed past the highest priests, nuns, ect on the shoulders because everyone found me to see something fancy to see. I couldn’t due to the service about to go on. My church Priest at home said that was an amazing experience for me in St Peters. He reblessed the beautiful rosary I got at the gift shop outside of it at my uncles funeral because I wasn’t sure if it was actually blessed by the Pope. He was in awe that I carry it with me everywhere (purse). Also, he had to go to Italy for his Priest duties and he was so inspired a young Catholic went alone and got to see more than him. 😊
    Thank you guys for the video so I can reflect on the awesome time I had there!

    I believe Nippons' contract for the Sistine chapel has expired (if my info is correct) but the Vatican determined that the potential damage of millions of flashes inside would be best mitigated by continuing to forbid filming and photos

    Question about Italiapass, is it a physical pass or an app? does it has an expiration? their website isn't too clear... (i emailed) them....
